Vipec Polaris Pro Turbo and Rush Demo Ride

[sledstew]

We will be putting on a demo ride on Sunday March 18th in Cooke City for all of you that would like to test ride the Vipec ECU turbo or the Rush will be there also for a test run.
The sleds available to ride will have the HM turbo water to air intercooled setup on them. Emilie Moorsehead from 509 films,Shane Hart from HM turbo,Sebastian Guay from Precision EFI(super tuner) and myself will all be there for support and questions.

We are staying at the Soda Butte lodge and will gather at Shane Harts HM Turbo trailer at 9:30 AM on Sunday for the demo ride.

Any questions feel free to drop me a pm

Would you be willing to meet halfway? I would like to test it. I could meet you in West Yellowstone or Lionshead?

BTW, PM me some more info about the standalone set up, and where I can purchase one.

Do you have a set up for N/A Pro?

Thanks in advance

are we going to have any stock or NA sleds there?? I'm curious to see how well this works on a 'stocker' I have been IMPRESSED so far with the capabilities on my turbo!!

Skadi,
How many miles on your turbo this year?

Skadi,
How many miles on your turbo this year?

I'll tell ya after tomorrow....shes out of town and im going to take her sled! yep....riding a girls sled!

Headed out in the morning to hit the mountains. Installed a Vipec last weekend on Emilies sled and stoked to get out. Its already restored my faith in what a turbo 2 stroke should be.

If anyone has the chance to be in Cooke next sunday you should check them out. Jake (Sledstew) from Mild to Wild has been Wonderful to work with and hands down knows this product like the back of his hand......Cant say enough good about this guy. Not to mention the developer and master tuner from Vipec are going to be there too. Wish we could of made it happen. Its gonna be a great time!

Thanks Jake!

Sometimes I really hate the 'day' job... means other people get first crack at my machine!! grrrrr....

anyway, I've had the kit since last spring... I really don't keep track of miles, no clue... ride most weekends, normal amount for a mtn rider... I'll try to remind D to get mileage off the machine today while he's out (I bet he's too excited to think about it and forgets when he gets up there! ha!)

This fall we did the cold air intake and intercooler to it. Since then had problems with the Dobek box, guessing them to be electrical issues/amp draw issues but not sure cause not a lot of other people are seeing it and I can't get it to reproduce in the shop...

Went with the vi-pec to eliminate my need to constantly slight tune and to realize the full power of the machine -also to simplify my electrical components and allow me logging capabilities on some key points that would tell me what my problems were if they still existed with the vi-pec.

So far they haven't even surfaced!! Today will be the test as it usually take a while of riding under a decent load for them to show up... The tuning in took a little bit from our end but I've been told that's cause I stomped my feet and demanded that I be able to buy this product as my sled actually wasn't running the way it was and I'd wasted most of my season troubleshooting it! Some of the work we've done and the work being done in Cooke city next weekend should get the baseline tunes MUCH closer!! Even still it wasn't too bad and with the support of Jake D had it tuned in in the field and knew his way around the program so he could take it to the mtns in one weekend!

today is going to be a long boring day of work for me waiting to hear how the sled ran!!!

You will never be happy if you continue to chase around the next best thing, insted of learning more about your machine and the product you have. It will alway's be easier to point the finger at the other guy and just throw money at the problem, you will only end up living more unanswered promisies. Dobeck, Boondocker, Boost it, Mc Xpress, Vipec, ect. All of thease product's will not work if you don't learn how to use them.

Correct to some degree... and I get your point... I struggled with this concept from day one of this season to now. I tried to state the reasons I chose to go with a different controller above but maybe I wasn't clear enough...

The capabilities I have with the vi-pec are much more than with the dobek fuel control system. Yes I could have gottten my sled to 'work' with the dobek but I'm confident I wouldn't have realized the full potential of power. Also, it would have taken a bunch of electrical work and in my mind just wasn't a 'clean' system. piggy back just isn't! My BF runs a dobek on his dragon turbo and it works decently. I'm not saying dobek can't work... just saying in my opinion the vi-pec works better, realizes more potential out of the machine and, hopefully, will have less 'tinkering with the box' needed to keep it running spot on day in and day out.

Currently my sled wasn't running with the dobek system. Pretty sure it was due to an issue with the solenoid not getting enough power to always measure the right pressures on start up. Now, I could have poured my energy into figuring this out and maybe ended up with a system that would 'work' or take a slight risk and step to something new. This something new I believe is the direction fuel control/sled control is going! The capabilities are amazing... maybe I got the wool pulled over my eyes and 'suckered' but I really don't think so; to me it's worth the cost to have a sled running so well AND running spot on day in and out!

I will let someone who really knows speak to the capabilities of the vi-pec system vs the control system I was using... but for me, we're already noticed GOBS more power and much more consistent running, plus I finally have a responsive bottom end back!! Time will tell if it really is consistent but we've been impressed so far!

Jake I glad to see you make some progress on this we need to get one on my 1100 motor what you think.

Skadi,

Quit tinkerin' with your box while riding...people will stare!!

I have had a dobeck for 3 years now.....learned it in about 2 hours...pretty simple if ya ask me...we have struggled with Emilies sled pretty much all season now. Her sled has or had a electrical issue that nobody could find or fix or even kinda figure out. it was causing the solenoid to mess up and give faulty readings to the dobeck.....after one box down we thought we had it figured out....then a month later the second box failed too so rather than get a 3rd and start replacing every electrical component she decided to get the Vipec.

What is sled modding but chassing the next best thing? if everyone was happy with what everyone else had we would all ride a stock sled right? Learning what this new ECU can do is really fun so saying nothing will not work for you if you dont learn how to use them is just a stupid statment.

I took her sled out for the first ride with this ECU today and was really impressed. only 5.5 lbs of boost and not pulling more than 7700 rpms...still have some more tuning to do but it sure ran better than it has in a LONG time...

Yes Brad absolutely, give me one or two days of tuning and you will see what you have never seen before out of that engine. Guaranteed or your money back, Brad its insane what we have been missing for years!!!

All of these companies have their purpose some work better than others, but let me ask you this. Do you drive your car or truck around town and tune on it??? Thats the difference.

 

[pura vida]

the difference is you car/truck is stock, the sleds they are talking about are far from it. when you start to get a car/truck into super high hp numbers you need a similar stand alone to get them to run right. same-same with the sleds

So where do we go from here you want to come to my shop. You need a road trip. I will be in touch on Monday. Brad

you are correct,the point Im trying to make is that once its set. Your DONE thats the final time you touch it. Trust me guys I have said it for some time now,this is it. This system makes more power and is as consistant as you can possibly get. Capabilities of this ECU will make it dominate in all aspects of snomobiling,drag racing,hill climb circuit, boondockers you name it. I will be the first to admit the ECU is not a cheap product but that in a sense speaks for itself. The quality and workmanship that went into this ECU is second to none and you will not see anything on the market with these capabilities for years. This ECU reads the fueling/ignition system 8000 times per second at full throttle how much more precise would you like it???

 

[Polarisrocks]

I seem to remember all the crap people gave me when i had to whip out my lap top on the hill to adjust my rb3.... Now i see another product that is only for the wise or professional tuner.. Most cant even understand the collums and population of rows and how to make maps.. I am very curious how the vypec understands barometric changes if it only has one 3 bar sensor and its hooked to boost ad vaccum. Any factory boosted car or truck has both a barometric/ atmospheric sensor and a boost/ baro sensor. How are they doing it?? If it works as people are saying, i will have one on a pro too.

 

[Skadi]

didn't you have some app for you phone??? (i remember you having your phone out one time and thought that was WAY over my head technologically!! now I'm wanting it! ha!)

Seems like with the smart phones these days... basic tuning with computer cause you want to see the whole screen and I know i shouldn't have to touch it once it's done (nor will I really want to!!), but a smart phone app for just checking up on things while you're out would be SWEET!!

Technology is definitely advancing!!

Yes it compensates very very well, Im not going to go into great detail but the baro corections are all setup for you when you get the ecu.

oh, i wasn't criticizing, i agree. think this system (has the potential) will finally bring the tuning ability to sleds up to the standards where high end tuning for cars are.
